Full details
This 20.0L kit of FabioT. RT 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat in Red is designed for professionals and fleet maintenance teams seeking durable, high-build protection for truck and commercial vehicle chassis. Its key benefit is superior corrosion resistance due to zinc phosphate reinforcement, offering a lasting semi-gloss finish. A potential caveat is the need for proper ventilation and personal protective equipment during application due to its industrial formulation.

FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for the 20.0L kit?
The specific mixing ratio for the paint, hardener, and thinner is detailed in the product's technical data sheet. It is crucial to follow these ratios precisely for optimal performance and durability.
What is the pot life of the mixed product?
The pot life varies depending on the temperature. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact pot life and recommended usage time after mixing.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
Yes, this coating is suitable for brush application in addition to spray methods like electrostatic, Airmix, and Airless. Ensure even application when brushing.
How should I prepare the chassis surface before painting?
The chassis surface must be clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, oil, and old flaking paint. Degrease thoroughly and consider mechanical cleaning or abrasion for optimal adhesion.
What is the recommended drying time?
The coating is typically dust-dry in 15-30 minutes under standard conditions. Full cure, however, takes approximately 7-8 days, after which it reaches its maximum hardness and resistance.
Is this product suitable for use on car chassis, or only commercial vehicles?
While formulated for heavy-duty truck and commercial vehicle chassis, it can be used on car chassis that require robust protection, provided the surface is properly prepared and compatible.
What is the shelf life of the unopened product?
Unopened containers should be stored in a cool, dry environment. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific shelf life, typically 1-2 years when stored correctly.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying or curing properly
Verify correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Check ambient temperature and humidity; curing is slower in cold or humid conditions. Ensure adequate air circulation.
Poor adhesion to substrate
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and properly prepared (e.g., sanded if necessary) before application. Re-check compatibility with any existing coatings.
Uneven finish or sagging
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, tip size) and application technique (distance, speed). Avoid applying too much material in one coat, especially on vertical surfaces. Ensure correct viscosity through proper thinning.
Bubbling or pinholing
This can be caused by moisture, solvent entrapment, or applying the coating too quickly over a porous surface. Ensure adequate flash-off time between coats and that the substrate is completely dry.

- Specific thinner requirements need to be met for optimal results.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is a 2K (two-component) system and requires mixing of the paint, hardener, and thinner in precise ratios as per the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all application equipment is clean and suitable for polyurethane coatings. Proper ventilation is essential during mixing and application.
Compatibility: Bonds well to properly prepared steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. Substrates must be clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, or old paint. Ensure compatibility with any existing coatings or primers if not applying directly to bare metal.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Once mixed, the product has a limited pot life and must be used within the specified time frame.
